ON THIS DAY (OR CLOSE
TO IT!) IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY…
- Fire Emblem came
out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. While it was the first (official) English
localization for the series by Nintendo, it was the seventh main game of the
series. Rumor goes that Nintendo finally decided to give it the ole translation
try because of the
popularity of Marth in Super Smash Bros.
Melee.
- Ratchet
& Clank came out Nov. 4, 2002 for the PS2. Insomniac’s effort was
well-reviewed, and spawned a series.
- Valkyria Chronicles,
a solid turn-based, tactical RPG, came out on Nov. 4, 2008 for the PS3.
Surprisingly, it was by Sega! A remastered version came out on May 17, 2016 for
the PS4, to rave reviews.
- The first Dragon Age
game from Bioware came out for the PS3, 360 and PC on this day in 2009.
